Classes
Class Times
Hills Dog Club provides positive, reward-based obedience training for dogs of all ages on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings. We also have rally and trick classes available on a Monday evening.
Ring Practice
Ring practice is a dedicated training session where handlers and their dogs can experience working in a simulated show ring environment.
These sessions are designed to help members prepare for upcoming trials by practicing exercises, learning ring procedures, and building confidence in a supportive setting.
Obedience Classes
Obedience classes are designed for dogs of all ages and experience levels. Our classes focus on teaching essential skills such as sit, stay, recall, walking on a loose lead, and good manners in a friendly, supportive environment.
Experienced instructors use positive, reward-based methods to help you build a strong bond with your dog while encouraging good behaviour.
Rally Classes
Rally is an exciting and accessible dog sport for participants of all experience levels, blending traditional obedience skills with a course of unique stations for a fun and interactive experience.
In this class, handlers and their dogs work together to navigate a series of signs, each indicating a different obedience exercise to perform.
K9 Companion Award
The K9 Companion Awards celebrate members and their dogs who demonstrate outstanding obedience and responsible dog ownership at Hills Dog Club.
Open to eligible members, this program includes both practical and theoretical assessments to showcase your dog’s abilities and your skills as a handler.
